Nocturne stared at his boyfriend in silence. The silence became more awkward the longer it went on for. His brain was unable to respond to the question.Leo soon moved back to lying against him. “I can tell that you have not considered having sex with me.”The ruler of the underworld was very far outside of his comfort zone. His thoughts revolved around his job, trying to fit in dates with Leo and thinking about how happy he was with Leo. His mind flashed back to a very early conversation with Celeste. She had asked about his plans for Leo and he had said that he hadn’t saved his life so he could have sex with him later. That was true. Things like that didn’t cross his mind.“It is not something I think about,” he said eventually. “I know things are different for humans. Their minds are different.”“It was just something I was curious about. Don’t worry about it,” Leo assured him.His boyfriend took to wrapping one of his long gray curls around his finger and Nocturne wondered if he

The kiss was long and full of feelings. Leo found it was different to all their previous kisses. It felt more earnest somehow.Things were different for them now. The truth had been revealed.His boyfriend wasn’t human, he was like the Grim Reaper and he was finally seeing his true form.They parted for breath and gave his boyfriend a long look. There were a lot of things to think about now.“You can’t appear here as a human for now,” he announced. “My best friend understandably thinks you’re a stalker. He will call campus security if he sees you around there. If he sees you outside campus, he will probably call the police.”Nocturne looked hurt. “How are we supposed to spend time together then? Should I take on a different human form?”Leo shook his head immediately. “No! I don’t want to date you when you look like someone else. Am I the only person who can see you in this form?”“I only want to be seen by you so that is the case,” Nocturne confirmed. “If someone was to walk in now,

That question was the last thing Nocturne had ever expected to hear from Leo. In all his imagined scenarios for how their dating life would eventually go, he had never expected his biggest secret to be exposed. There was no other way out than to be honest.“Grim Reaper is a human term,” he replied simply. “I will not lie to you anymore. I am the ruler of the underworld and my job is to collect the souls of the dead. Does that answer your question?”Leo’s eyes widened in surprise and then he nodded.“It does. I was upset about finding out you had been lying to me yesterday,” he said. “I was ready to make a police report and then I remembered something weird from the summer. I saw you in my bedroom. I thought it was a dream at the time. I realized everything made sense if it wasn’t a dream. You visited me in August.”Nocturne had regarded his visit to Leo to remind him of his promise to be a disaster on all fronts as it had gone badly. Now he knew it was a mistake that had paid off.“I

It took a long moment for Leo to recover his ability to speak. He knew he was in some state of shock from the way his arms were shaking.It felt like his world had been shattered. Brad couldn’t be right.Then again, he could.Nocturne was odd.He never seemed to study. Leo had never been invited to his student house. He had never met anyone from Nocturne's university course. He didn’t have an online presence. Nocturne’s personal life was also still completely unknown to him and they had been dating for several months. He had told Nocturne all about his family and friends and his boyfriend never did the same.“I’m sorry, I know you really do like him and he is your first boyfriend,” Brad continued. “I couldn’t let this carry on once I had it all worked out. I don’t know if he’s a stalker or something else.”Leo knew that Brad had his best intentions in mind when he had started to dig into Nocturne. He just wished his best friend had found nothing suspicious.“How do you know it’s a fak

As the month progressed Nocturne started to become accustomed to his double life. The list of the dead would decide how much time he had to spend with Leo a day. If it was an expansive list, there would only be time for texts and if it was medium sized or smaller, it was an actual date.Contacting Leo by phone had its difficulties. He only had the phone when he was in the human world so he could only use it in the short window of time he had before collecting a soul and bringing it back to the underworld. Typing on a phone was also a challenge that he had been forced to overcome.If the soul was difficult to bring back because the human refused to accept their mortal coil had come to an end, there was no chance to use his phone.Despite all the difficulties, he was glad that there was the option to use a phone. If he was trying to date Leo 100 years ago or even 30 years ago, it wouldn’t have been an option.Then came the challenge of trying to do his best impression of a human. Celest

That evening Leo spent his time before bed staring up at the ceiling with a grin on his face instead of reading.He now had his first ever boyfriend.They had even kissed.He still couldn’t quite believe it. He touched his lips softly. It had been a shy kiss at first because he had never done it before. Then he had asked for a proper kiss and Nocturne had said he wasn’t sure how to kiss properly either. Leo blushed as he remembered how he had confidently claimed they both needed to practise and there was no time like the present. He had put the umbrella back up for privacy.He had left the park with a boyfriend and actual kissing experience.It was hard to truly believe that he had managed to overcome his curse and have the perfect boyfriend. He wasted a lot of time thinking about Nocturne. He had such deep eyes and every time he looked into them, he felt lost. He was so handsome as well. Leo giggled to himself and panicked when he saw the time. Had he really just spent half an hour

Nocturne waited patiently outside the coffee shop for Leo to return with an umbrella. This time he had remembered to dress in summer fashion, but he had fallen short when considering the daily variations of weather in the human world.The idea of walking around in the rain underneath an umbrella with Leo sounded very romantic though. He was excited to try it.He watched humans rush through the rain past him. Eventually someone with a large yellow umbrella came to a stop in front of him. The umbrella lifted slightly and he saw Leo’s face underneath.“Let’s go,” his date said and held out his hand.The ruler of the underworld took Leo’s hand. It was pleasantly warm and then the human promptly dropped his hand before he could fully revel in the moment. Nocturne’s brow furrowed. Was his hand horrible to hold?“What’s wrong?” he asked softly.“I tend to get sweaty. Let’s not hold hands,” Leo explained and moved so they were underneath the umbrella. He tilted the umbrella up so they could s

The ruler of the underworld hummed happily as he arrived in his throne room. It had been a very good day.There was no one waiting for him in his throne room, which was good and bad. It would have been bad if Draven had been waiting for him. Celeste would have been a welcome sight. Nocturne wanted to tell her how his date had gone.The archangel had given him a talk on human dating. Her advice had been 90% accurate and the other 10% hadn’t gone well. She had told him that Leo would find him attractive if he wore a smart suit. Instead Leo had found it strange and had even commented on it.He was glad she had told him to find out Leo’s interests first before meeting him. Nocturne had spent some time going through Leo’s bedroom to investigate him. From there he had discovered that university was an important thing to him, where it was and what he was studying. He had returned to Celeste with all his information and she had made some suggestions.He still couldn’t quite believe he had gon

Leo elected to ignore the resemblance between the man in front of him and Grim Reaper from his dream. There was something more important to focus on here. The man had asked to sit at his table, but there were two other empty tables outside the coffee shop. There was no need to try to sit next to him. Unless the man was trying to flirt with him. He might as well double check if his dating curse was still in operation. Leo held out his hand in the direction of the chair.“You can if you like,” he said.The man was dressed in a sharp blue suit, but something felt a little out of place. He looked to be around the same age as him so it was odd to see someone like that wearing such a nice suit. It was also too hot to be wearing a suit comfortably. This man should be showing signs of sweating, but he couldn’t see any.Unlike the man in his dream, this one was definitely a human and didn’t look translucent like he was going to fade away at any second. His gray hair was also short with bangs

Chapter 1
“Do you ever let any human escape death?”The ruler of the underworld looked over at the person who had asked the question with a disdainful look and scoffed at him. It was a ridiculous question to ask.“I would never do something like that. The rules are simple, if their name is on the list, I take their soul to the underworld to be judged. There is nothing else to it.”Today was a quiet day in the underworld. For once he had enough spare time to sit by the windows in his throne room and drink some tea. The endless night view wasn’t much to look at, but it was all his. It was a shame the ruler of hell had come to visit him.“Nocturne, some of your predecessors broke the rules and allowed humans to keep their lives,” the ruler of hell pointed out. “None of us are heartless despite our origins.”The ruler of the underworld changed over time. There was a mandatory 50 year minimum time period and then the ruler could choose to continue or put their souls up for reincarnation so they coul...
